On a quest to retrace her roots, filmmaker Wilma Calisir returns to the place where her mother from Waidhof met her Turkish father Osman in the summer of 1972. With meticulous care and great passion she puts the pieces of her family puzzle together. Not every piece fits; linguistic barriers and differences in mentality are exposed, opinions diverge. In the end, Calisir delivers a successful study of the perceived “foreigner” in Austria and Turkey.
